I have been rummaging in my UFO ( Un Finished ) drawer and I pulled out this randomly pieced scrap quilt. I think I put this together about 5 years ago from a lot of hand dyed scraps leftover from other projects. At times, I have pieced together piles of scraps to make quilted handbags - and they have been popular sellers, but they are not very profitable - they end up being pretty much a give away. Handbags take quite a bit of time to construct and a lot of materials - lining, batting, zippers, etc. - yet they don't go for much (really cannot compete with all those imports from third world countries).
I remember this large piece from that era. I remember the fabrics in it - and what I used them for!
It measures about 40 x 26". I have it on the design wall for pondering. I am going to do something with it, but I don't know what, yet. I expect I will be printing on it!
